Zach, I grabbed https://musl.cc/x86_64-w64-mingw32-native.zip. Just noticed that decimal-float is disabled. (I need --enable-decimal-float). Other than that, it's odd that libgcc_s_seh-1.dll is in the lib folder. Usually, it's in the bin folder as it's often required at runtime. I think

Kudos to you, Zach, for providing those !! FYI: Unfortunately, the absence of quadmath is a blocker for me. Also, I've never used a compiler that has win32 threads. For me, it has always been posix threads. (However, that might not be an issue.) Cheers, Rob On Thu, May 30, 2019 at 7:39 AM Zach

I, too, get the impression that providing up-to-date releases is not of much interest to the developers. IMO that would be a pity and a pathetically weak business model. I recently used msys2's pacman to grab gcc-8.2.1, hoping to use it in a native win32 situation. It seems to have a dependency
